Multi-Single High Power - 1 radio with WA4PGM and W0CN the first 24 hours,
and WZ8P joining us for the second 24 hours.  All run with no moves.  Our
condolences to Mike N4GU for the lost of his mother-in-law.  He was to bring
along another radio but had to cancel at the last moment.

Our thanks goes to Mervin who met us at the airport.  During our 3 hour trip
to the station we stopped to buy watermelon, star fruit, apples, coconut
water, and other fruits. Upon our arrival at 6Y5WJ we were met by Josh and
his lovely wife Jenny. Thanks to Fritzroy who cut several bamboo poles and
helped to install the 3 element 40 meter and 2 element 80 meter wire yagis.
Mr. Whiter our neighbor for allowing us to install the 40 meter yagi in his
field. The station is located at 2200' elevation with an awesome shot to
W/VE.  Actually all directions are quite good with a slight rise towards the
East.  A huge thanks to Jenny for preparing local Jamaican dishes and their
great hospitality.

Great to work so many friends and making new ones.  Congratulations to the
TI5W team.  Thank you all for the contacts!!

See you from KH7XX in WPX SSB.

73,

Dan, W0CN
Kyle, WA4PGM
